Robert Hana:
Lennart Dijkkamp:
Up until the river, everything looked secure for Hana on , but the brought his tournament to a screeching halt. To make things worse for Hana, another player claimed to have folded a king. Hana was forced to the rail and Dijkkamp now sits at 800,000.
Karel Mokry opened to 18,000 in middle position. Benjamin Benoit three-bet to 46,000 from the cutoff. Back on Mokry, the Czech cut out a four-bet to 95,000 and Benoit called in position.
The flop was and Mokry continued his aggression with a bet of 90,000, which got called by Benoit. On the turn, Mokry slid his T-100,000 chips in the middle, enough to put Benoit to the test for his final 260,000.

Kabrhel, who had been yapping non-stop throughout the hand, suddenly became unusually quiet as Sgorrano tried to figure out what to do. Eventually, the Belgian slid in a call and the hands were tabled.
Martin Kabrhel:
Jerome Sgorrano:
Kabrhel had flopped the joint and Sgorrano's hero call failed. The talkative Czech moved up to 800,000 and just like that became the most dangerous player in the room.
Get your earplugs ready folks. It's gonna be loud in here.
Dutchman Paul Gresel had a strong run in the past two hours, where he climbed up from 100,000 to 260,000. Unfortunately for the two-time WPT National winner, his run came to an end in two hands.
